Publisher Description
At twenty-two, Alan Corey left his mom’s basement in Atlanta and moved to New York City with one goal in mind: to become a millionaire by the time he was thirty. His parents and friends laughed, but six years later they were all celebrating his prosperous accomplishment–at a bar Corey owned in one of Brooklyn’s hippest neighborhoods.
No, Corey didn’t climb the corporate ladder to build his fortune. In fact, he worked the same entry-level 9-to-5 job for six years straight. But by pinching his pennies and making sound investments, he watched a pittance blossom into a seven-digit bank account. In A Million Bucks by 30, Corey recounts his rags-to-riches journey and shares his secrets to success.
WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE THIS BOOK UNLESS YOU ARE PREPARED TO BECOME FILTHY RICH.
“What a steal . . . For any entrepreneur the advice in these pages is worth more than a million bucks.”
–Barbara Corcoran, founder, The Corcoran Group
“This is the best personal finance book I’ve ever read. Part self-help, part brass-tacks money guide; Corey’s confessional tales of making it to the million dollar mark are as hilarious as they are helpful.”
–John Reynolds, writer, The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Entertaining and informative, this book by first time author (and reality TV semi-regular) Corey sheds light on the plans and processes that led him to achieve his goal of amassing a million dollars by his third decade. In a winning narrative, Corey leads readers through his post-collegiate career as the cheapest of cheapskates, starting each chapter with a cute but revealing paragraph letting readers know all that he had yet to grasp in pursuit of money-making and -saving strategies. Though very few readers will be able to follow Corey's same path to riches (he doesn't expect them to), bulleted tips and sidebars ("Extreme Cheapskate Strategy: Buy one pair of multipurpose shoes a year. Don't buy any others") give readers solid advice as well as an appreciation for Corey's discipline. Throughout, the tone is conversational, humorous and occasionally glib; the under-30 crowd (for whom the current American economy can be especially unkind) will find Corey's advice welcome and his story encouraging.
Customer Reviews
Great info for a beginner
I enjoyed this book, full of humor and useful information. Alan's creative ways of making money is refreshing. Definitely recommend anyone looking for some simple financial info to read this. I'm 25 and have used only a few of his ways to make myself stand out from my peers in having a sound financial background.
